Overlapping perceptual benefits of temporal attention in aperiodic and periodic streams are mediated by delta phase alignment, but not alpha suppression, in sensory circuits

The paper investigates how temporal attention affects perception through delta phase alignment rather than alpha suppression in sensory circuits for both periodic and aperiodic streams.

Discourse Focus and Memory Encoding: The Role of Trial-Level Alpha Power

This study examines preparatory attention during spoken language comprehension by measuring alpha neural activity and finds that trial-by-trial alpha fluctuations predict memory encoding for focused words.

Predictive processing for sensory and action neural representations

This study investigates how predictive processing influences sensory and action representations in EEG during a motion-discrimination task, finding domain- and stage-dependent effects.

Phase alignment of low-frequency neural activity to the amplitude envelope of speech reflects evoked responses to acoustic edges, not oscillatory entrainment

This study investigates whether neural phase locking to speech amplitude envelopes reflects oscillatory entrainment or evoked responses to acoustic edges, finding support for the latter.

Contextual effects in sensorimotor adaptation adhere to associative learning rules

This study applies associative learning principles to sensorimotor adaptation, finding three key signatures of associative learning and a negative correlation consistent with the additivity principle.

Left Hemisphere Dominance for Bilateral Kinematic Encoding in the Human Brain

The paper finds stronger bilateral kinematic encoding in the left hemisphere during arm movements, with better across-arm generalization, suggesting a dominant role of the left hemisphere in motor control.

Differential effects of cerebellar degeneration on feedforward versus feedback control across speech and reaching movements

This study investigates how cerebellar degeneration affects feedforward and feedback control in reaching and speech tasks, finding impaired feedforward control but preserved feedback control.

The human cerebellum is essential for modulating perceptual sensitivity based on temporal expectations

This study shows that cerebellar degeneration impairs the ability to benefit from temporal cues in perceptual tasks, suggesting a role for the cerebellum in attentional modulation of perceptual sensitivity over time.

Context-specific control of the neural dynamics of temporal attention by the human cerebellum

This study shows that the human cerebellum specifically modulates anticipatory neural dynamics for interval-based temporal prediction but not rhythmic prediction.
